How do I create a repository in BitBucket using REST API calls?

Shawn Singh_mfoetq

We have BitBucket v5.10.0.

I've created a project and granted admin access to it.

I'd like to use that account to make REST calls to create repositories.

Is this possible to? and if so does anyone know the calls (using cURL or otherwise) that need to be made?

Since I asked this question, I came across the REST API browser and using the browser I can post and see the new repo. This has allowed me to see what endpoint I need to use; however, still not quite sure how to structure my curl statement...

Running this doesn't cause an update to the project... ie. no new repo.

curl -X POST -H "application/json" --user auser:theirpassword https://git-dev.csx.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/AN/repos --data '{"name":"rnstest","scmid":"git","forkable":"true"}'

Hi Shawn,

here is the method you can use - POST to /rest/api/1.0/projects/{projectKey}/repos

Martyn,

Thank you so much for your response. I came up with a curl command, but something still isn't quite right as I don't see the repo getting created...

Here is my command:

curl -X POST -H "application/json" --user auser:theirpassword https://git-dev.csx.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/AN/repos --data '{"name":"rnstest","scmid":"git","forkable":"true"}'

What am I missing?

I think you need to put the --data before the url

Shawn Singh_mfoetq

You aren't gonna believe it... the issue is I needed to have the "Content-type:" in the header... like so:

curl -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" --basic --user auser:theirpassword --data '{"name":"rnstest","scmid":"git","forkable":true}' https://git-dev.csx.com/rest/api/1.0/projects/AN/repos

Thank you for your help!
